\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How long it will take for Ronny Mauricio<\/strong> to be recalled to the big leagues is now a daily conversation among Mets fans.<\/p>\n

With the offense not firing on all cylinders and Mauricio playing very well in Triple-A, the powers that be in Flushing have consistently been bombarded with questions about the young prospect\u2019s future, and it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

In seven games since returning to Triple-A Syracuse after a rehab assignment, Mauricio is batting .560 with three home runs and an OPS of 1.546. It\u2019s a small sample size, but it\u2019s enough to get the buzz around the Mets prospect to become louder and louder.<\/p>\n

So when manager Carlos Mendoza<\/strong> was asked about the reports he\u2019s getting about Mauricio prior to Saturday\u2019s game against the Rockies, the second-year skipper tempered expectations but was honest in what he\u2019s heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re watching. The reports are really good, actually. Not so much about the results, just how he\u2019s moving,\u201d he said. \u201cThe way he\u2019s running around the bases, moving in the infield, first step, going after baseballs, recovering well and we\u2019ve seen the results from the offensive side where he\u2019s impacting the baseball from both sides of the plate. Good player, we will continue to watch him.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are a few factors holding Mauricio back in Triple-A. First and foremost being his health. Mauricio is on the road back from multiple knee surgeries following the 2023 season and the organization wants him to get back into playing shape, which means playing as many games in the minors as possible.<\/p>\n

President of baseball operations David Stearns<\/strong> said on Friday that Mauricio\u2019s health is their No.1 priority.<\/p>\n

Mauricio hadn\u2019t played back-to-back games with Syracuse until this past Wednesday-Thursday, so the reports about his fielding and recovery are very positive signs.<\/p>\n

The other roadblock is the Mets\u2019 current roster. Mauricio has started at second and third base in Syracuse, spots being held by the combination of Mark Vientos, Jeff McNeil, Brett Baty<\/strong> and Luisangel Acu\u00f1a.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acu\u00f1a and Baty are the only two of that quartet with minor league options remaining, but both are currently vital to the team’s success of late. Baty swinging a hot bat and playing great defense, while Acu\u00f1a’s speed and defense as a bench player gives Mendoza some much-needed flexibility.<\/p>\n

With that logjam, the Mets want Mauricio to continue to play the field and get at-bats as often as possible and the only way to do that is by playing in the minors, for now. But, as Mendoza put it Saturday, there\u2019s going to be a time when decisions will have to be made.<\/p>\n

“Right now, we want him to continue to get everyday reps,\u201d he said. \u201cPretty sure we’re going to get to a point where he’s going to force us here, but in the meantime, just let him play.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
